Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.
The Department of Homeland Security has a special treat for illegal aliens as we head into the holiday.
A DHS CHRISTMAS BONUS
In the Vanity Fair profile that Washington talked about incessantly for three days, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles suggested in one of her 11 interviews that she was uncomfortable with some of the deportations being done by the Trump administration.
“I will concede that we’ve got to look harder at our process for deportation,” she said, adding that she “can’t understand,” for example, how two U.S. citizen children get deported with their mother to Honduras.
It’s actually really easy to understand: the mother was an illegal alien and was being deported. Rather than separate her from her children, immigration agents allowed her to take her children with her to her home country.
More broadly, though, I’d like to get into this impulse that people like Wiles have when it comes to the mass deportation program. So many feel compelled to apologize for edge cases, to make known that they “get the ick” when a disabled/grandmother/housekeeper is thrown out of the country, to blindly assert that Trump has gone TOO FAR.
Enough.
The promise was to deport 20+ million people. How do you think that gets done? Not by putting every illegal’s life through one of those silly Facebook tests that your mom’s family friend reposts once a week. Instead of adding up your score to see how old you are using questions like, “Have you ever used a rotary phone?” we’ll do one for illegal aliens: Add three points to your ‘gets-to-stay’ score if you do menial labor for rich white people; Subtract ten if you’ve ever been charged with a crime; Add five if you go to church regularly; Plus seven points if you have children that were born in the U.S.
I mean, seriously? The only purity test we should be applying is “Are you in the country illegally?” If the answer is ‘Yes,’ you gotta go.
Some might say I am being harsh. Maybe they, like Wiles, “get the ick” when ICE raids a Home Depot.
Well, let’s look at some data points to see if they’re onto something. Can we do “it” — mass deportations — just not like this? According to Border Czar Tom Homan, just over 600,000 illegal aliens have been deported since Trump took office for his second term. It’s perhaps not a number to scoff at, but it’s also nothing to celebrate. 600,000 down … 19.5 million to go? At this rate, the Trump admin is on track to get 2.5 million illegals out of the country by the end of 2028. Then if a Democrat wins the next presidency they’ll reopen the borders and we’ll have 30 million to get rid of.
But here’s another number Homan provided that really matters: 1.9 million have self-deported in the last year.
DHS offers illegal aliens a $1,000 stipend and the opportunity to apply to immigrate to the U.S. through proper, legal channels if they self-deport. And a lot of people are taking them up on that offer. Far more than the admin has taken care of themselves. Why might that be? Perhaps those videos of ICE raids in Los Angeles and Chicago served as a helpful warning to those in the country illegally: if you stay, we will find you, you will be detained, and you will be removed. And you may not have a say over when and where you go.
DHS is offering a new incentive for illegal aliens to voluntarily leave the country this December. Call it a Christmas bonus. For the next week, you get $3,000 if you self-deport. Go on, take the money and run.
Let’s crunch the numbers again. If the rate of deportations and self-deportations holds steady across four years of the Trump admin, we are looking at over 10 million illegals who will be out of our country by 2028. Now we’re cooking.
No more hand-wringing. Don’t apologize. Keep the pedal down. This is what we voted for.
